- This product contains iron in the form of iron bisglycinate. Here, each iron particle is tightly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word ‘chelate’ comes from Greek and means ‘claw’.
This compound form was chosen because it is mild on the stomach (most iron compounds are not) and its bioavailability is particularly good. In addition, the formula is supplemented with vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid to further enhance iron absorption. The iron bisglycinate in this product has the brand name Ferrochel® and comes from Albion Minerals, the specialist in amino acid-bound minerals.
